They still make that?

lol I had a similar thought last weekend at the grocery store when I saw a guy walking off with a case of MGD...

@kronin323 OCTOPUS ?

Hello!

First I had to put them through a process of salting them down, giving them a light to medium beating with the flat side of a tenderizer hammer, rinsing them off, then repeating the cycle several times. This both tenderizes them and removes the slight slimy layer (I wouldn't really call them slimy, it doesn't leave a residue like a snail would, but there is a little something that comes off).

After that I soaked them in water for a while to remove any extra saltiness left from the earlier step.

Now I have them in a marinade of sake, soy sauce, sugar, mirin (a sweetened sake used for cooking), sesame oil, garlic, shichimi (Japanese 7 spice pepper blend), salt, and black pepper for a couple of days.

They go on the smoker tomorrow...

Had a similar thought when my coworker said she bought some Land O Frost lunch meat. Yuck.

And then another coworker basically said I am bougie.

Well, you do have all those Oaks; that could be considered a bit bougie...

My co-workers just assume I am rich. Far from truth.

When it comes to lunch meat, it is either Boars Head or nothing. There is nothing quite like it and the pre-packaged stuff just tastes awful in comparison. I tried Land O Frost long before Boars Head and it just tasted like trash. Just cheap crap.

With all those albums you put out how could they possibly think that?

Also, with this perceived snobbery, I have learned to gracefully decline free food.

One of my former co-workers brought in some pizza as a token of appreciation. Problem: it is Hungry Howies and I can't stand that cardboard tasting pizza. All eyes are on me because I am the only person who didn't take any. My head was hurting and I had a doctor appointment later.

But damn, I can't catch a break.

Lunch time can't come fast enough now...
